5x expanded by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 14:00, 27 July 2021 (UTC).

• The article was expanded from 834 to 5177 characters on 27 July and nominated the same day. All is within policy with regard to sourcing, neutrality and plagiarism. The hook (short enough, of course) is genuinely interesting. Its fact accurately reflects the article and two high-quality sources (BBC and Reuters). The image used was cropped from a photo posted by the US Department of State and is in the public domain. It's in the article as well. QPQ done by the nominator.
